Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Note: The following milestones represent the key activities associated with the regulatory process for the Project and are not intended to reflect the entire work plan schedule associated with this Project. Furthermore, these milestones may need to be adjusted as additional information is made available. MILESTONE ACTIVITIES / DESCRIPTION LEAD SERVICE STANDARD The following milestones occur after DFO’s review of a complete Project Description and determination that an authorization under Subsection 35(2) of the Fisheries Act is likely to be required. If such an authorization is likely to be required, DFO will request that the Proponent submit an application for authorization for review. Appropriately detailed information associated with the assessment of effects on fish and fish habitat and mitigation (including compensation) to address those effects must be provided in the Proponent’s Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) submission during the EA to support the determination of the significance of adverse effects on fish and fish habitat. This information will be identified through DFO’s input to the EIS guidelines or terms of reference. Aboriginal consultation activities related to the EA are captured in Annex II: Key Milestones and Service Standards for the Environmental Assessment and Aboriginal Consultation. Receipt of an application for a Subsection 35(2) Fisheries Act authorization(s) DFO receives an application from the Proponent for the authorization of impacts to fish habitat under Subsection 35(2) of the Fisheries Act. The application must be complete and be supported by adequate plans, maps, reports and data to support the review. The application should also be supported by proposed mitigation (as part of the authorization or in the EIS) to minimize impacts on fish and fish habitat and a proposed fish habitat compensation plan (FHCP) associated with a Subsection 35(2) authorization (if it is determined that one is appropriate). This information will be used to support the Fisheries Act review and EA. Proponent Dependent upon timing of the submission of the application by the Proponent but, at the latest, it must be submitted concurrently with the submission of the first draft of the EIS. Review and response regarding impacts to fish and fish habitat, and adequacy of information DFO reviews the application package/EIS (including proposed mitigation, proposed FHCP and associated estimate of financial security, if provided, and other related inform...
